You'll realise if he isn't there one day, because he's injured. 
I'm not his greatest fan but the work he's doing at the moment is so important to what we're achieving.

P.S. Don't buy an old wine, it could be sour grapes!!!!!

46 miles for me, driving up shortly, will take me about 70 mins

Get your bottle bought then RoyMac, the invite could be in the post.

Thats a little bit out of the city, but yes a good real ale pub.

Didn’t work Saturday. Never will.
Even if Ward or Sibley get into wide areas, who can they cross it to?
Collins on his own against two defenders or NML who can’t head it?
Need to go 4-3-3 and let them worry about us.
Two central defenders is enough at this level. Three get in each other’s space.

Got mine at 10.05am and stated at the time there was 121 tickets left and that was all in the standing area behind the goal. Just waiting now for the ticket to arrive in the post.

Also to add in the mix of these fixtures are Blackpool (with an outside chance of making a play-off spot), who are surprisingly the team with the best home form. They still have Pompey, Barnsley and Oxford at home, plus still have away games against Bolton, Peterboro and Derby.

Well currently Bolton have been the most consistent team and Peterboro have been smashing out the points in the last 10-12 games. But football is a funny old game ( I loved Jimmy Greaves). Bolton may have games in hand, but they have to win them. They still have to play 10 teams from the current top half of the table in their remaining 19 matches and 7 of them matches are teams currently in the top 7.
Peterboro are still in the EFL trophy having won tonight, so that could be a distraction. They have 8 matches against the current top half teams and 4 of those fixtures are against teams in the top 7 positions. Their last 3 games look interesting, with Oxford (a), Bristol (a) and Bolton at home.
The Rams have only 7 fixtures against the top half table teams and only Stevenage (h), Barnsley (a), Bolton (h) and Pompey away to play. Its all going to be down to results against the teams around you, keeping key players uninjured and good referee decisions in key games. Asking me now, I would say Derby will finish 3rd and agreeing with you that Bolton and Posh could grab the top two. I think this subject as come a little early, the transfer window is not shut and there is a fair few games to go. Ask me again when we only have 9 or 10 games left and I might change my predictions.

Shame they are out of the EFL Trophy, that would cause more of a fixture pile up. Mind you Peterboro are still in that competition.

I might be wrong, but was'nt some of that £6.8m loss due to paying off some debts. Good post, agree with giving the youth some game time. Don't understand why Warne would keep sticking our young striker Brown on the bench regularly then send him out on loan to a non-league side. Some on here would say, "to improve his development" but the way I see it is different. Playing on loan with Gateshead, who don't have the same facilities as Moor Farm, nor have the same standard of coaches with their club compared with ours. And lastly playing against lower standard teams and with his Gateshead team mates also not being as good could halt his "development".

Managed to get a ticket last season, only because it's a Tuesday night game again. Will be logging on in the morning to get my ticket. Also went to the Plymouth game last season, had a fan from Belper next to me who was absolutely smashed, so drunk he kept leaning into me trying to keep his balance.

Blimey I was at that game too. Carlisle were already relegated, we were already Champions. I was expecting a rout and we ended up 0-0. If fate turns out the same again, I would take a 0-0 draw.

Automatics - I don't mind which.
At the start of the season, I said that it was our third spell in the third tier, and in the two previous times, we had got promotion at the second attempt, and I saw no reason at all why this season should be any different to the others.
You can analyse points per game until you are blue in the scrotum for all I care. The fact that Posh and Notlob were on good runs means nothing - both have to pick themselves up after disappointing results today.
Derby, according to a few of you, are faltering, because we've only picked up 10 points in the last 5 games. Well, so have Portsmouth, so have Bolton, so have Peterborough and so have Barnsley. The 'form' team, if there is one, is Stevenage. 4 wins in 5. Or, at a stretch, Leyton Orient with 4 wins and a draw.
I think we'll be ok. That might be my boundless optimism, strange drugs or alcohol speaking, but it's a darned sight better than the inane, depressing drivel that is churned out on here when we win, let alone lose.

Portsmouth 15 games left, 8 home, 7 away. 7 of their remaining games against current top half teams including Oxford, Blackpool, Peterboro, Barnsley, Derby, Bolton and Lincoln.                                                                                                                                               Derby 16 games left, 9 home, 7 away. 8 of their remaining games against current top half teams including Stevenage, Barnsley, Bristol, Bolton, Northampton, Blackpool, Portsmouth and Orient.                                                                                                                               Bolton 18 games left, 8 home, 10 away. 10 of their remaining games against current top half teams including Northampton, Blackpool, Barnsley, Oxford, Derby, Stevenage, Bristol, Portsmouth and Peterboro.                                                                                                      Peterboro 17 games left, 9 home, 8 away. 8 of their remaining games against current top half teams including Blackpool, Northampton, Stevenage, Portsmouth, Orient, Oxford, Bristol and Bolton.                                                                                                                              Barnsley 17 games left, 8 home, 9 away. 8 of their remaining games against current top half teams including Orient, Derby, Bolton, Lincoln, Portsmouth, Blackpool, Northampton and Stevenage.                                                                                                                   Stevenage 18 games left, 10 home, 8 away. 8 of their remaining games against current top half teams including Bristol, Derby, Lincoln, Peterboro, Orient, Bolton, Oxford and Barnsley.
I have only included the current 6, Oxford & Blackpool could still make the top 6 to achieve a play-off spot. Interesting last games of the season is Portsmouth away to Lincoln, Derby home to Carlisle, Bolton away to Peterboro, Barnsley home to Northampton with Stevenage home to Cheltenham.                                                                                                                                                                                                  Stevenage probably have the easiest fixtures to play and Bolton look to have the hardest run in, but we all know it does'nt work that way.
Injuries will play a big part on how the teams will pan out come the end of April. Derby getting Waghorn, Washington and Forsyth back in the next few weeks could make a difference. I'm going to sit on the fence at this stage and hope this thread is still going when we get down to 6-8 games to go. Then we can make a better guess on what will happen.

We can't go to Wembley this May, I'm away on holiday, so I'm hoping we can finish 2nd.

The Brown loan to Gateshead includes a 28 day notice call back, but if Collins gets injured this Saturday, we would wait 4 weeks to get him back!!!!

Charlie George was a brilliant signing in the summer of 1975. Scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid ( I might be wrong, but still to this day the only Englishman to get 3 in one match against them). Got his one and only England cap whilst playing for Derby, only got 60mins playing out of position on the wing. When he got subbed, I do believe he had an arguement with Don Revie and never got picked again.

I think them 6 players that Warne wanted have all been a gamble. The latest rumour news is we are still talking to Sheff Weds about having Mike Smith or Lee Gregory on loan, it all stinks of deseperation by Warne. He stated in an interview he wants to bring youngster in and is looking at either a 32 yr od or a 35 yr old. He sent Brown off to Gateshead at a time when we only have one fit striker. I don't get it with his thinking. All 3 strikers out injured and he also wanted to send Weston out on loan (I think he refused). Please sumbody wrap Collins up in cotton wool.
